<p>Ok so the recommended changes so far are:</p>
<p>Don’t expect so much out of getting into UCLA and Berkeley. (Kinda knew that already considering what happened with the last graduating class and who got in/who didn’t)
My GPA isn’t so good. (Kinda knew that already, but thanks for reminding me! :P)
UVA and UNC out because OOS to a state college = eh.
Consider Michigan-Ross, Boston College . (I’m pretty sure BC is going on my list for sure)
Keep Duke, but consider removing Emory and Lehigh.</p>
<p>So making all recommended changes would bring me to:</p>
<p>Boston College<br>
Carnegie Mellon University<br>
Columbia University<br>
Dartmouth College<br>
Duke University<br>
New York University<br>
Northwestern University<br>
UC System (Berkeley, LA, SD)
University of Chicago<br>
University of Pennsylvania (CAS - Can anyone give insight regarding IB from CAS vs. IB from Wharton if I can maybe get into CAS but long shot for Wharton?)
University of Southern California<br>
Villanova University (I dunno, should I consider this? From qazwsx1! post)</p>
<p>Now based off of this thread + other advice…</p>
<p>No from: Columbia, Duke, Berkeley, NU, Chicago
Maybe from: Dartmouth, UCLA, Penn, UCSD
Yes from: NYU, CMU, USC, BC, Nova</p>
<p>Sounds right?</p>
<p>I totally appreciate all the help. Learned quite a bit!</p>
